(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This BBG (Best Buy Guide) is about Gaming laptops, I will be making a list and keep it up to date with the best gaming laptops, and their prices. I will categorize all the laptops in the following sections;

Budget = Affordable
Gaming = A bit expensive (but more powerful) Mostly i5
Extreme
= Really expensive (but alot more powerful) Mostly i7

First off, dont expect too much off 'extreme/high end gaming' on a laptop. Laptops are made to be moveable, so keep in mind that a desktop is much more powerful!
Anyway, I want to start off with this list, if you know any good gaming laptops please post them and Ill add them to the list. Also, they dont have to be categorized as a gaming laptop, but have to be able to handle games well.
About Alienware: I've put this in, because they do have the strongest gaming laptops in the world. But please, never buy Alienware unless you want to spend $300 just for the name 'Alienware', they do have greatly build machines though, but still they charge way too much (in europe).

Building your own Gaming Desktop will come much cheaper and will get you about 2 or 3 times better performance for the same price!

Thanks, and yeh I'm kind of looking for them now, will update soon Smile
Edit;
Yes, the M14x will be able to handle WaW and CoD4 easily, but it's not that 'High End' as everyone expects..
I think (and I think everyone), that Alienware is overpriced. You pay alot of money just for the brand and the keyboard.
Will add more laptops later on today, and If you really want to know if the laptop you want can take certain games,
you can look it up on YouTube. I think the MSI GT663R is the best laptop, for the best price.
Here's a link;

Also if youre budget is bigger you could go for an Asus, they have great laptops..
And here's another MSI that I think is awesome, the MSI GT780;

For just 1100 euros, you get an i5 @ 2,3 GHz and a GeForce GTX 560M,
also a 1920 x 1080 Full HD Screen and it's 17 inch, much better then the Alienware M17x wich starts at 1500 euros.

No one can ever really bring a valid point to justify overpaying for an Alienware computer, so I think I'll stick with the companies that don't want to screw you price-wise because of the "pretty lights" and "cool cases".

Great post, nonetheless. With the exception of the Alienwares, your recommendations are spot on! :y:

Thank you, sir.
I've only put them in because there's people willing to pay these crazy prices just for those pretty lights.
Love the M11x, even tho I still have not decided wether to get Alienware or MSI.
Keep updating the thread Upside Down Happy

I don't think people will look here if they don't need a laptop.
